The Bad Man was nearly dead at the beginning and was picked up by Yang Shuzi and taken home

The first day of the first lunar month is the beginning of the Jiaqing reign.

All played the wine cup for a thousand years, and everyone was happy and joyful.

——"Yuan Zheng"

……

It was snowing heavily, and the white snowflakes decorated the entire Fengxiang, making it look like a poem or a painting, as if it was the first blessing of the New Year.

The empress wore a silver-red long skirt, a red cloak, and a little makeup, and was as pretty as a peach in spring.

Standing alone on the city wall, gazing into the distance, her eyes were filled with anticipation. She didn't know for whom she was waiting for to return, and she gradually became fascinated.

Even if someone came to her, she would not notice it at all and just looked into the distance quietly.

"Sister Wang!"

Hearing the voice calling him, Li Zhaozhao withdrew a little of his thoughts. He turned around and saw Li Maozhen holding Nian Ling's hand, smiling and walking slowly towards him. He responded:

"Brother Wang, this is the last time you come back to stay for a long time in all these years. Don't you want to take a good stroll in the city?"

Indeed, Li Maozhen had only stayed in Fengxiang for a day or two when he came here a few days ago. It was the first time for him to go to various countries to do business.

The second time was when Tubo was at the critical moment of treating malaria, but was called back to celebrate the Mid-Autumn Festival by a letter from Anton Jun.

Both times he came in a hurry and left in a hurry.

This is actually my first time staying here for a long time.

Li Maozhen joked:

"Alas, seeing my sister always thinking about someone in her heart, I feel distracted. Brother Wang has no mood to play."

When Li Zhaozhao heard his words, he narrowed his eyes and immediately said:

"Brother Wang, is the Tubo so idle? They actually allow you to run to Fengxiang every few days. Do you know that you are the Prince of Guang now?"

But Li Maozhen didn't care what she said to him, and said to himself:

"Why are you in such a hurry? How can you get from Yuzhou to Fengxiang so quickly?

Even if he has great power, it is only noon now, why is he in such a hurry? "

"What Zhen said makes sense."

Nian Ling walked up to her obediently and held her arm, her voice tender and crisp.

"Sister-in-law, I understand how you feel, but it's not a solution to keep going like this.

Look, you have nothing to do here anyway, why don’t you come with us and we’ll accompany you around the city.

The city is very busy right now. Although you have been living here, I guess you don’t have time to relax.”

The empress's eyes flickered and she hesitated for a while, but was finally convinced by Nian Ling and nodded slightly.

"That's fine."

The two men walked down the city wall side by side, and Li Maozhen followed behind them, and together they stepped into the bustling streets of Fengxiang.

Fengxiang in recent years is very different from before. The streets are bustling with people, and various vendors display a variety of New Year goods, which are dazzling.

There were people selling colorful silks to decorate the home, and there were people selling paper cuts of various shapes to be pasted on windows. The sounds of hawking were heard one after another, making the scene very lively.

The wealthy families were even more lively, with red lanterns hanging in front of their doors, couplets posted on the door lintels, and all kinds of delicious food placed in their homes. The children in the families excitedly set off firecrackers, and laughter filled the entire mansion.

The three of them went to the temple fair first, and that place was packed with people.

Various acrobatics, magic tricks, singing and dancing performances attracted many people to watch.

Then we went to watch the Nuo exorcism. Everyone was walking and dancing, having a great time.

(In the Tang Dynasty, the leading role in the exorcism team was a man and a woman, wearing masks of an old man and an old woman, leading the dance. Behind them were hundreds of people wearing masks of children, called the child protectors. The other part of the group wore masks of various ghosts and played the villains.)

Of course, most people just come to join in the fun.

She spent the whole afternoon shopping with Nian Ling and Li Maozhen, admiring various street trinkets, participating in activities, and occasionally stopping to taste some snacks.

Although she was still worried about Anton Jun, with the company of Li Maozhen and Nian Ling, her mood gradually calmed down a little.

It was not until the hour of You that Li Zhaozhao went back to Huanyinfang, Dongjun Mansion and Qiwang Mansion, but found no trace of An Dongjun's return.

Her heart, which had just relaxed, was lifted up again. She knew that Anton-jun would definitely do what he promised her, and he had specially released Haidongqing to write back to her a few days ago.

So she went back to the city wall.

Just like that, dusk fell, the sky gradually darkened, and the setting sun was like a fire.

After a long time, a figure slowly appeared in the distant sky.

As the figure got closer, Anton Jun's clear silhouette appeared in Li Zhaozhao's sight along with Yuanzheng's last sunset glow.

His robe fluttered in the wind, and snowflakes flew around him. Every time he stepped on a snowflake, the sword shadow behind him became more illusory and transparent, and was now clearly in decline.

Anton Jun also saw her at first sight, and from the moment he saw her, his eyes were fixed on her, as if she was the only focus of his eyes in this troubled world.

Then he used all his internal energy to cut through the sky and break through the wind.

Winter snowflakes fell on the ends of Li Zhaozhao's hair, her black hair fluttered in the wind, and made her cheeks red.

At this moment, her face was also filled with a tearful smile, and the smile in her eyes was warm and bright.

Anton-kun crossed the vast wilderness and descended from the sky to come to her side.

At this time, his white eyebrows were already covered with a little frost, and his white hair was blown into a mess by the wind, with some broken hair mixed with sweat sticking to his cheeks.

His chest was heaving violently, and he was exhaling large mouthfuls of white air, looking a little embarrassed.

But he still had a smiling expression. After seeing Li Zhaozhao's expression, he frowned slightly, trying his best to calm himself down, and said with a tone full of pity:

"Wife, why are you waiting here when the sky is frozen and the earth is closed? Look at your face, it's all red from the cold."

Li Zhaozhao's eyes were full of determination and pride, and she smiled and replied, "You blushed because you saw me, an old man!"

"Silly bitch~!"

Li Zhaozhao did not hesitate. He took off his cloak and put it on Anton Jun, then excitedly threw himself into his arms and hugged him tightly.

"Because I have a stupid old man!"

Anton Jun had been traveling all day without any rest, and his internal energy had been almost used up. He was mentally and physically exhausted, so he could not react to Li Zhaozhao's actions at all.

After being hugged by her, he raised his slightly stiff arms and tried to push her away with a little force, saying in a concerned tone:

"Wife, I feel cold..."

As soon as he finished speaking, Li Zhaozhao released his inner strength, and then a wave of heat emanated from his body. He placed his hand on his waist and whispered in his ear:

"It's all right now~"

Li Zhaozhao snuggled in Anton Jun's arms like a little bird, feeling his body temperature and heartbeat.

"Ok!"

The two hugged each other tightly, as if everything around them had disappeared, leaving only each other's breathing and heartbeat.

Without too many sweet words, they just quietly enjoyed the tranquility and sweetness that belonged only to each other.

"Wife, I'm back!"
